	<h2>Social media</h2>
	<p>
		I was invited to join a neighbourhood-based social network today called <a href="https://nextdoor.com/invite/xgwwbpfkjthgnpbgmbgf">Nextdoor</a>.
		I figured I&apos;d check it out, see that there was some problem (such as $a[IP] address discrimination, which some providers engage in, or noxious demands for photo $a[ID], like Facebook engages in), but the only real problem I&apos;m seeing is that it requires JavaScript for anything at all besides a blank page to render.
		Clearly, the site&apos;s poorly designed, but I don&apos;t think it has any malicious features at the moment.
		It does have address verification though.
		You seem to need an invite code to get on.
		Without one, you can join, but it might require verifying a code they send you after you provide your address.
		I&apos;m not too concerned with that type of thing though; I&apos;m not hiding.
		I probably won&apos;t use the site much while school is in session, as flipping JavaScript off (to use the university website) and on (to use Nextdoor) will be a pain, but I might check it out more between terms.
		It&apos;s got listings for yard sales and and individual items for sale, so it could come in handy when I&apos;m looking for stuff.

	<h2>Domain name consideration</h2>
	<p>
		I&apos;m thinking about getting another domain name for use exclusively for $a[URI]-shortening.
		For example, my referral link for that new social network I&apos;m on is long and looks like gobbledegook.
		In person, it&apos;d be nice to have a shorter representation that&apos;d redirect to the proper page.
		I don&apos;t want that sort of thing built into my main website or any subdomain of my main domain; I want the $a[URI]s that use my main domain to be mostly permanent (for the duration of my own life span, anyway), while I can easily see a reason I&apos;d take down a shortened redirect eventually.
	</p>
	<p>
		There are things to consider when choosing a domain though.
		How much am I willing to pay (yearly) for this side domain?
		How nice of a domain do I want it to be?
		These two I guess are the main things to think about.
		Lowering the price lowers the quality of the domain, while raising the quality will raise the price.
		At one end of the spectrum, I have the domains under my <a href="/en/URI_research/best_ccTLDs.xhtml">five favourite $a[TLD]s</a>.
		Of these, <code>//st.</code> is the least expensive, while the others provide equal or lesser service of a higher price.
		At the other end, we have domains under the <code>//tk.</code> $a[TLD], which is a perfectly valid $a[ccTLD], but has a bad reputation due to the low-quality content its zero-dollar price tag attracts.
		Also, if you choose not to pay for a domain name there, they have the right to revoke your name at any time with or without reason, and certain extra rules are imposed on you.
		In the middle, we have paid domains, most of the ones in this quality level being under $a[gTLD]s.
		Some $a[ccTLD]s exist at this level too, though if I don&apos;t go with a <code>//st.</code> name, I&apos;m probably either trying to save money or trying to use a $a[TLD] I think people will recognise.
		Speaking of which, that&apos;s another point to consider: the recognisability of the $a[TLD] I choose.

<section id="drudgery">
	<h2>University drudgery</h2>
	<p>
		I set aside my available time today to complete the reading assignment in one of my courses.
		It&apos;s worth noting that the reading assignment in the other course is not accessible because the server it&apos;s hosted on maliciously discriminates against certain $a[IP] addresses.
		I have tested and confirmed this.
		However, I&apos;m playing dumb about it a bit in class because people get weird and blame us proxy users instead of blaming those actually causing the problem: those that maliciously discriminate against proxy users.
		Anyway, it&apos;s not likely I&apos;ll be able to complete that reading assignment, though if a fellow student offers me a copy of the text (for example, that they download and rehost elsewhere), I&apos;ll happily take the time to read it and learn the material.
		I&apos;m way too apathetic about my coursework to jump through any major hoops though or even to ask for help.
		I&apos;ve expressed in the class forum that the server refuses to send me the file and I&apos;ve expressed a concern that the material might be on the exam and I won&apos;t know that material.
		If someone feels like helping, I&apos;ll certainly be thankful, but I&apos;m not going to sweat it if no one offers.
		Especially this week.
